《Tennessee Plates》歌词

[00:00:00] Tennessee Plates - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)

[00:00:21] I woke up in a hotel and I didn't know what to do

[00:00:24] I turned the tv on and wrote a letter to you

[00:00:27] The news was talkin' 'bout a dragnet up on the interstate

[00:00:32] Said they were lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates

[00:00:41] Since I left california baby things have gotten worse

[00:00:44] Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse

[00:00:47] Tell that judge in bakersfield that my trial will have to wait

[00:00:52] Down here they're lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates

[00:00:55] It was somewhere in nevada it was cold outside

[00:00:58] She was shiverin' in the dark so I offered her a ride

[00:01:02] Three bank jobs later four cars hot wired

[00:01:04] We crossed the mississippi like an oil slick fire

[00:01:14] If they'd known what we was up to they wouldn't 'a let us in

[00:01:17] When we landed in memphis like original sin

[00:01:20] Up elvis presley boulevard to the graceland gates

[00:01:25] See we were lookin' for a cadillac with tennessee plates

[00:01:39] Well there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage

[00:01:43] And there wasn't one lincoln and there wasn't one dodge

[00:01:46] And there wasn't one japanese model or make

[00:01:51] Just pretty pretty cadillacs with tennessee plates

[00:01:54] She saw him singing once when she was seventeen

[00:01:57] And ever since that day she's been living in between

[00:02:00] I was never king of nothin' but this wild weekend

[00:02:04] Anyway he wouldn't care hell he gave them to his friends

[00:02:12] Well this ain't no hotel I'm writin' you from

[00:02:18] It's the tennessee prison up at brushy mountain

[00:02:24] Where yours sincerely's doin' five to eight

[00:02:33] Stampin' out my time makin' tennessee plates
